THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, SCHO0L YEAR SHORTENED Plan Adopted by the Board of Eduncation to Meet the Deficit, MCNTH OF THE TERM CUT OFF This Course Taken In Preference to Culling Balaries of High School Teachers and Junitors as Finance Committe Suggested—Other Husines: ‘At the meeting of the Board of Education held last night an attempt was plunge the knife into the salaries of High sohool teachers and all janitors recelving more than $50 per month, but this was de- feated and in the end the school year was ghortened one month. It will close on May 25 this year, instead of on June 25, as in former years. Along the line of retrenchment Mr. Rhoades presented the following report: “Your committee to which the question of finance would respectfully recommend that the school year be closed on May 25, 1895, and that the salaries of teachers, principals and janitors be adjusted on that basis. Your committee would also recommend that a cut of 10 per cent be made in the salaries of all teachers in the High #chool, and a cut of 10 per cent in the sala- rles of all jankors recelving more than $50 per month. Your committee would recom- mend that the committtee on buildings, prop- erty and supplies be instructed to have o material purchased, or work performed unless the committee first receives the approval of the board, or unless absolutely needed in case of accident.” Mr. Pierson submitted a report, which was in line with that of Mr. Rhoades, with the exception that it spared the teachers in the High school and the janitors from the cut. Mr. Rhoades was loaded down with figures and proceeded to show that by adopting his report the sum of §$42,000 could be saved dur- ing the school year. He insisted that the Plerson report saved but $16,000, which would not do much in wiping out the deficit. Mr. Plcrson maintained that by the adop- tlon of his report §36,000, in stead of $16,000, would be saved. Mr. Rhoades High school te and more than In other cities. Mr. Burgess insisted that Mr. Rhoades was in error, and in support of his position read feom a IMst, showing that Omaha sal aries were much lower than in other cities The Janitors were good men and it was not necessary to go outside to find out what they should be pald. They were all good men, and if their salaries were cut 10 per cent they would leave and scek employment elsewhere, Mr. Burgess knew that the good teachers would not stand the cut proposed by Mr. Rhoades; they would leave, while the poar ones would' sta; Mr. Elgutter thought that it was true that High school teachers and janitors were paid £00d salaries, but he did not think that they should be made the victims to help make up & shortage in revenues. The adoption of Mr. Rhoades' report was defeated by a vote of efght to four, while the report submitted by Mr. Plerson was adopted by & unanimous vote. CANNOT GET THEM BACK. James B. Meikle, the attorney for th Board of Education, reported that he had consulted with the city authorities upon the matter of special taxes paid by the school district of Omaha on account of the Tenth street viaduct. The city, he said, had re- fused to refund the taxes, or any portion of the same. As the taxes were paid on Octo- ber 23, 1890, he said that the statute of limitations would run against their recovery on October 23, 1594, The report was re- celved and placed on file. Some forty of the citizens of Central park and vicinity petitioned for a night school in that vicinity. In their petition they prom- ised to pay the salary of a teacher, providing the Board of Education would supply room, heat, light and books. The petition was placed on file. The board decided that it could not Incur the expense. The treasurer reported $21,148.43 of school moneys on hand on the first day of the pr ent month, Superintendent Marble reported that there were 579 children attending schools outside of their respective districts, not including those transfarred on account of lack of grade in the schools in the districts in which they resided. There were six bids on the proposition to sell the board a site for a school bullding in the vicinity of Fortieth and Davenport streets. The bids ranged from $5,000 down o $5,600. Al bids were referred. By resolution the superintendent of build- ings was instructed to report the kind and quantity of coal used each month during the coming winter, making his board each month. The judiclary committee fssued an in- struction that nonresident pupils report their attendance to the” secretary of the boacd, that the cases might be presented for con sideration, Just before adjournment the second at- temnt to cut salaries was made, Mr. Lowe offered a resolution, providing for a cut of 12% per cent on salaries of High school teachers, taking effect November 1. When the vote was taken, the resolution was de- feated, Messrs. Lowe and Rhoades alone voting for its adoption, Beyond all rivals in leavening power fs Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder. = Govern- ment analysis gives it 166 cuble inches avail- able carbonic acid gas per ounce, higher by tar than any otlher-baking powder known. CHARTER AMENDMENT WORK. Number of Subcommittees Appointed ~Daily Sesslons Will Be Held. The reorganized charter amendment com- mittee held its first meeting in the mayor's office yesterday afternoon. No business was transacted beyond the appointment of sub- committees. A gencral discussion was had s 10 the methods to be employed. The committes organized by electing I E. Howell chairman, and D. H. secretary. A suggestion that the of the committee be held in the cvening in the council chamber was adopted, and the mayor suggested that the committee meet every night for at least a week, In order the. contemplated amendments might be for- mulated, and made an issue in the legislative campaign. was referred that in Omaha janitors wre paid ned The resolution offered by Mayor Bemis to | the old commitiea providing for such amend- daents as would allow all public works to be done by day labor was taken up and bricfly discussed. CI rman Winspear, of the Board of Public Works, said that he was not | willing to go as far as the resolution con- templated, but thought there were some de pagtments in which day labor might be used to advantage. He cited the strect sweeping eontract for example. Here the city had been obliged to pay the contractor $22,000 during the hard times, in accordance with the contract, when, if the work could have been done by the board, the streets might have been kept clean for half that sum.

The democrats inaugurated their local campalgn last evening with a procession, headed by the First Regiment band, and a rally at Washington hall. The principal speaker of the evening was ex-Governor ames E. Boyd, democratic candidate for N Eress, Mr. Boyd was in bad form, having arisen from a sick bed to be present at the meet- ing, and he spoke with evident difficulty. The larger part of his address was devoted to a discussion of the tariff and the silver | questions, and upon the latter he took decid- ed issue with the doctrine of free coinage, Harry Miller called the meeting to order. Before Introducing the speakers, he said a few things on his own account. Like his distinguished friend in New York, he was a democrat, and with all the ardor and en- thusiasm of his makeup he proposed to work for the election of every man on the demo- cratic ticket, from Silas A. Holcomb down to The republicans, he said had nominated a man who by the best re- publican authority in Nebraska was notori- | ously unfit for the position of governor. Tom Majors, asserted the speaker, was the rep- resentative of a corrupt ring, and the demo- crats had decided to assist in defeating him He said that he would find no fault with John McShane, W. A. Paxton, W. §. Mc- Hugh and Euclid Martin, but he wanted to tell them that there were enough populists and enough decent, honest democrats in Ne- braska to elect Holcomb, C. J. Smyth, chairman of the meeting, was the next sveaker. He said that in the pres- ent congressional campaign there were three candidates, and that beyond question the contest between the republican and democratic nomdnees. There was no hope for the election of the populist candidate and Mr. Smyth made an eloquent appeal to populists t> vote for Boyd instead of Deaver. He defended Boyd's attitude on the silver question and claimed that the latter was the friend of the white metal. Mr. Smyth also referred to the ealamity orusade. He said that the cry raised that Nebraska’s credit would be ruined by the elect'on of the democratic candidate for gov- ernor was false. The state of Nebraska, he said, did not need to borrow money. It had money in its treasury, and it also had great deal of money mnot in its treasury, Re ferring to the assertion th: the eiection of Holcomb would drive eastern investors a that the constitution of Nebraska any legislation impairing the ob. was prevented ligation nor populists could legislate castern investor, even if they desired. BOYD DECLARES HIS POSITION. After being introduced as the ex-governor of this state and the next congressman from this district, Mr. Boyd stated that on advice of his physician his remarks w be very brief. He held that it was the dut of every canddate for office to declare hi position on all of the leading is:ues before the people. Four years ago, he said, he had been elected governor of Nebraska, upon an tssue clearly defined, and upon which the republican candidate’ was silent. In the convention a bright democrat had declared, “God hates a coward,” and the defeat of the republican candidate for gov- ernor four years before proved the assertion. Mr. Boyd took up first the recent finan- cial pi and argued at some length igainst the assertion that it had been brought about by fear of democratic legisl tion. The panic, he declared, was brought about by the bankers and money loaners. England alone, according to a statement made by Gladstone, had $5,000,000,000 in- vested in America. At 5 per cent per an num, America was sending back to Englan 250,000,000 annually as dividends and in Naturally England had a deep in- America’s financial system. Cor when England saw the United sury empty, the gold reserve di- a heavy deficit in sight and vaults with silver, she began to with draw her vestments. The flow of gold to Ingland brought on the panic, and the gold had been driven out of the country by re- publican legislation. Mr. Boyd discusse length, declaring him terest in sequently, States tre minishing overflowing the tarlff question at If in favor of a tariff for revenue only, He sald that the repub- lican party would never advocate enactment of the McKinley bill. He denied the oft-repeated assertion that the price of farm products went down with the price of silver. The price of hogs today was twice s high as it was when silver commanded its highest price. The price of wheat and other cereals was fixed by England. Mr. Boyd declared himself in favor of the election of United States senators by the favor of arbitration of differ- ences between capital and labor, but did not fuvor compulsory arbitration, for where com- pulsion began arbitration ceased. He was in favor of the regulation of freight rates. but believed that maximum rates should be fixed by a commission rather than by the legislature. AGAINST BRYAN'S RATIO. Mr. Boyd expressed his views on the silver question at some length. As long, he said, s Grover Cleveland was president there was no hope of free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. Personally, he was directly interested in the extensive use of silver, as he was the owner of nine-tenths of a silver mine producing 3,000 ounces per week, but e would not favor the Injection of silver into the national currency to such am extent as to endanger the credit of the nation. He sald that he firmly believed that the enact ment of the law for the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 would drive from $550,000,000 to $650,000,000 in gold out of the United States and put this country on a sil- ver basis. He did not belleve that the pas- sage of such a law would restore prosperity to the country, and he cited the financial con- dition of Mexico as an example. In conclusion, Mr. Boyd stated that he was in favor of the election of Judge Hol- comb, and asked the support of populists in his canvass for congress. He had been a resident of Nebraska for thirty-elght years. He had served the people in many public places, and he was perfectly willing to stand upon the record he had made, and if elected to congress he would endeavor to perform his full duty. The next speaker was W. Poppleton, candidate for state senator. He reviewed in a comprehensive manner the aims and pur- poses of the democratic candidates for the leg- islature. In_addition to voting for Bryan for United States senator, they proposed in- vestigation of state flnances, an investigation of the state penitentlary, and the revision of the convict labor laws, and the passage of irrigation laws which would prevént the absorption of the state's scanty supply of water by eastern syndicates. Ed Smith, candidate for county attorney, was then |ntroduced. He said that the only lssue in the present campalgn was: Which party is presenting the best men for the offices to be flled this fall? He discussed the tariff question, and then, alluding to the state campalgn, said that the lssue was sjuarely joined between the rallroad corpora- tions and the people. There were two big offices In sight—the governorship and the United States senatorship. The B. & M wanted one of these and the Union Pacific was after the other. If the democrats did their duty Holcomb would defeat Majors, the ir duty Holcomb would defeat Majors, and Thurston would be beaten by Bryan. W. 8. Felker, candidate for state senator, closed the meeting with a vigorous fifteen- minute talk, the long career of Governor Boyd as a citizen of Nebraska, Days of Registrati Wednesday will be the second day of regis- tration, and judging by the number who reglstered on lhlmnl day a large percenta of contracts, and neither democrats | against the | the re- | In which he paid a tribute to[ of the voters are takimgithe precaution to register early.

But unless a plan that has since has been Incubated by the democratic statesmen In and out of the council proves abortive a desperate effort will be made to nullity the ordinance or at least postpone its approval until it s too late to include the mention of the clerkship in the election proclamation. It was stated yesterday by a democrat who is supposed to be in the scheme that the courts would be applied to for an in- Junction to enjoin the mayor from signing he ordinance on the ground that it is illegal The democratic councilmen and others have been doing a good deal of caucussing since the ordinance passed, and it is understood that they have made up their minds that the plan s worth trying. Previously they en- deavored to convince the mayor that the or- dinance was illegal and that he could not courts ‘was decided on It is understood that their petition for an injunction willl be based on section 120 of | the charter which says that “The city clerk | shall be elected at the same time as the mayor, and shall hold his office for two years from and after the first Tuesday of January succeeding his election and until his suc- cessor s elected and qualified.” This is interpreted clerk can only be elected at the regular city election. at whioh the mayor and other city officers are elected, and that in case of a vacancy the appointee of the mayor and council shall hold until the two years term has expired.

The Lintons and their English bankers have entangled themselves in another batch of law suits which have just found their way to the court records of this county. Last week Phocbe R. E. E. Linton, the wife of Colonel Adolphus F. Linton, brought a $300,000 damage suit against the London banking house of Whittaker, Cooper & Co., making her London attorney, William Isaac [ Shard, a co-defendant. This sult has been withdrawn and another for a like amount commenced against the same parties, the al- | legations being almost identical. On top .,1! all of this, the husband, Adolphus, has sued | John W. Cooper for $75,000 damages, the | | averment being that as long ago as January | | 81, 1889, Cooper negligently advanced the | sum of £10,000 sterfing to Coates & Son on a worthless guarantee. The check was drawn | | by Linton, and in return he received as col- | lateral security 2,000 shares of the stock of | the San Sebastian Nitrate company. On the | check the plaintiff alleges that he was held, | and in order to get out of the deal he had to| | pay over in good money the sum of 12,500 | sterling, no portion of which has ever been returned. | In another sult Linton has sued the at-| torney, Shard, for $83,000 damages, alleg- | Ing that in London, when he was sued by | Coates & Son on the San Sebastian Nitrate | company stock deal, he retained Shard to | look after his interests, then and there ad- vancing the sum of £120 as a_retainer.

CARRYING 1T TO HEADQUARTERS, | e Majors Men Lug an Afidavit to Omaha for | Tnspection of the Hosses. The somewhat notorious L. D.

The train was somewhat | Tate, but the honorable gentieman from Fre- mont whiled away the tedium of the journey | by listening to the reading of a four-page Mdavit purporting to contain the statement of some one who had unearthed something or other of terrible import. The | name of E. Rosewater is said to figuce prom- inently in the afidavit. The people will not be made aware of the contents of the docu- ment until it is first passed upon by th railrond amanagers who. are divecting the republican campaign. in this state. 1f it is | doemed of sufficient fmport to warrant pub- | lication, it w1 be uly double leaded in the | first column of the Burlington Journal upder | the guise of a tpecial dispatch from Omaha. | The Bee is not worrying over the pros. | pect of further attacks from the railroad emissaries, who are traveling up and down Nebraska in a vain endeavor to bolster up the wavering columns marching to almost certain defeai under the leadership of Tom ajors.

LOSING THEIR JOBS FOR IT. Foderal Ax Used on Employes Who Refuse to Support Majors, The government inspectors under the juris- diction of J. Sterling Morton in South Omaha are not having any particular picnic. That gentleman has gradually reduced the force until there is only a corporals’ guard left. When a government inspector was singled out who had the manhood to declare his honest conyictions in Tegard to supporting the ticket headed by Mr. Holcomb he was branded and the word passed on to head- quarters. Yesterday Mr. Vaughn and Mr. Horrigan, government taggers, were laid off. Dr. White, the chief microscopist, was also given notice that his pay would be lopped off until such time as the powers saw fit to re- instate him.

Ritchie was look- | ing after the defendant’s interests. | Something like ten days ago Mr. Ritchie | appeared before Judge Scott asking for a | continuance on the ground that a material | witness, Peter Eck, was absent from the | state At that time an affidavit was pre- sented in which it was alleged that Eck was in the northwestern portion of lowa. esterday Mr. Ritchie was in court again to ask for another continuance, still urging that he had been unable to secure the | of his witne He seid that | gck was in Bloomington, 11, and to prove the statement he d Wallenz to produce a letter written by Eck and bearing date of October 11. This was the firebrand that caused Mr. Ritchie all of his trouble. Judge Scott, at the mention of the letter, paced the floor, declaring that he was not to be played with. The motion for a continuance he sald that he would overrule, and what was more, he would disbar Mr. Ritchie from | practicing in his court. Mr. Ritchie tried to explain that after he had made the affi- davit, some ten days ago, in which he had | alleged that Eck was in lTowa, he had gone | over to Bloomington, where he was at this | time. Scott remarked that he still had the afdavit in mind, and added: ‘‘You are disbarred from practicing before me until you can purge yourself.” In speaking of the matter after the court nhad adjourned, Mr. Ritchie said that he was acting in the most honorable manner with the court In the Wallenz and all other cases. The only reason he could Imagine that Scott had it in for him was by the fact that one year ago when a large number of the lawyers of the district took steps to have Scott removed from the bench, he signed the petition asking for his removal. Re- garding the Wallenz matter, Mr. Ritchie said that he knew nothing about Eck having removed from lowa to Bloomington until he read the letter, and asking for the con- tinuatce was simply a duty that he owed to his client. He had not intended to mislead or impede the work of the court. So far as purging himself in Scotts couri was con- cerned, he said he did not think that he should do so, as he had done nothing dis- respectiul or unprofessional.
